quote:In order to use a back fed breaker as the required building disconnecting means the panel must be listed as service equipment with a back fed breaker.
Tom I am not deputing that but what article requires that? 110.3(B)?
Is there a panel that can not be backfed and why?
The answer lies in the requirement that the disconnecting means be marked as "suitable for use as service equipment" The marking would read suitable for use as service equipment when a (XXX) breaker is installed using kit #... Since that is an instructtion that is included in the listing or labeling then you must meet that condition for the panel to be "suitable for use as service equipment." In other words if the label were to call for a QOM1100 as the main breaker then using a QO two pole sixty ampere breaker with a tie down kit would not be in compliance with instructions that are "included in the listing or lableing." You cannot violate the instructions on the labeling and still claim that the panel in question continues to be suitable for use as service equipment.
